4646 Something Is Amiss
Half a year later, Duan Ling Tian integrated the Divine Offering Land with his Little World, placing it in a relatively central area close to the Divine Tree of Life. Since there were many cultivators in the Divine Offering Land, he set up a Formation to protect the Divine Tree of Life. The Divine Tree of Life was also powerful enough to alert him if a World supreme powerhouse approached it. However, there were not many World supreme powerhouses who stayed in the Divine Offering Land. In fact, there were very few supreme powerhouses who stayed in the Divine Offering Land.
Most supreme powerhouses were aware of the reason why Duan Ling Tian decided to seal the Divine Offering Land, and they had left in advance. After all, with their cultivation base, they would need to cultivate in seclusion at some point. Perhaps they could ask Duan Ling Tian to let them leave, but after thinking about it, they thought it would be much more convenient if they left.
Duan Ling Tian could finally rest assured after the Divine Offering Land was sealed. After all, this meant that his loved ones were safe. Suddenly, he recalled something, and he frowned.
‘Hmm? The integration of the Divine Offering Land and my Little World doesn’t affect the Heavenly Tribulation at all?’
Duan Ling Tian did not expect that even after the Divine Offering Land was sealed, heaven’s rule still applied.
‘However, this isn’t surprising. Otherwise, many people would be able to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation…’
At the same time, he found that the credibility of the Void Elder’s memory had fallen. He felt the latter’s memory was not entirely reliable. Previously, due to the memory, Duan Ling Tian assumed that after becoming a level-nine supreme powerhouse, one would be on par with heaven. However, it was clear to him now that heaven was far more powerful beyond their imagination.
Apart from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, Duan Ling Tian spent most of his time in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to discuss the Sword Dao. During this time, he also discovered that he was unable to open his Little World, where his loved ones were residing, while he was in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. This was clearly a restriction placed by heaven.
One day, Duan Ling Tian saw a person whom he had not seen for a long time. It was none other than Xue Qing Zhu, his master’s wife. She was also one of the City Governors of the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities, and she was also the first among the thirteen to become a level-seven supreme powerhouse. Over the past one thousand years, another two City Governors successfully became level-seven supreme powerhouses as well. With this, the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities became one of the top forces in the Outer Boundary, surpassing the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion that had two level-seven supreme powerhouses now.
Xiao Tian Ci, Duan Ling Tian’s old friend from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, had successfully become a level-seven supreme powerhouse. After all, when Duan Ling Tian met him previously, he was already a Saint who was very close to becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse. His breakthrough was a matter of course.
As for the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s World supreme powerhouse, Zhao An Yi, who once helped Duan Ling Tian capture the culprits who murdered Duan You Wei, he had also become a level-seven supreme powerhouse a few hundred years ago.
“Little Tian,” Xue Qing Zhu called out when she saw Duan Ling Tian.
“Madam, did you have a breakthrough in your Sword Dao after entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda this time?” Duan Ling Tian asked. After Xue Qing Zhu became Feng Qing Yang’s wife, he began to address her as ‘Madam’ as a sign of respect. After all, she was his master’s wife.
Duan Ling Tian thought about teasing Feng Qing Yang if Xue Qing Zhu had a breakthrough. He thought it would be amusing.
“It’s not so easy to break through,” Xue Qing Zhu said with a sigh, “Although the eighth stage of the Sword Dao seems to be within reach, it’s extremely challenging to take that last step. I really admire you. You managed to comprehend your Sword Dao to the eighth stage so quickly and became the first level-eight supreme powerhouse in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary…”
…
When Duan Ling Tian broke through, he intended to keep a low profile. Alas, heaven had a different idea. As soon as he broke through, the heavenly text appeared and announced that he was the first level-eight supreme powerhouse to appear after the gap in history. Needless to say, that heavenly text stirred up a huge commotion in both the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary. Everyone was shocked by how quickly he progressed.
At that time, Lei Hong, who hid somewhere in the Sun Bright Realm, saw the heavenly text, and his expression changed drastically.
“Damn it! Why did that brat break through so quickly?!” Lei Hong cursed out loud. He felt extremely vexed. He would not have felt as vexed if his cultivation base had fallen.
…
Back to the present.
Seeing that Xue Qing Zhu had come out of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, he did not want to be a third wheel so he quickly entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda again. He was only in the pagoda for three days before he came out. This was because he learned from his doppelgangers that one of the nine mysterious entrances had suddenly disappeared.
The disappearance of the entrance caused an ominous feeling to rise in the hearts of those who had been paying attention to this matter, including Duan Ling Tian.
After leaving the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, Duan Ling Tian met up with Feng Qing Yang, Xue Qing Zhu, Xiao Mu Bai, and Zhang Shan. All of them wore grim expressions on their faces.
“What’s going on exactly?”
“The news came from the Primordial World,” Xiao Mu Bai said in a low voice, “After the deaths of three level-seven supreme powerhouses from the Primordial World, many people began to pay attention to the nine mysterious entrances. Yesterday, someone discovered that one of them had disappeared… After news of that spread, we found out that every domain, including our God Defying World, that had those entrances had also lost one entrance…”
